AT&T introduced the RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120, a Wi-Fi-enabled version of the slim messaging smartphone that also offers other enhancements, including a better Web browser and a 2-megapixel camera with video recording capabilities.
In all, the new features make the popular smartphone even better but we couldn’t help but want a little more. Unlike the BlackBerry Pearl 8130, it doesn’t have 3G support or integrated GPS, so that left us feeling a bit unsatisfied. Still, the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 is a solid upgrade.
The RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120 is available now initially through business channels for $199.99 with a two-year contract and after rebates and discounts.
